` EXAMINATION
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. Good morning.
` A. Good morning.
` Q. So I know you have been deposed
`before, but let me go over the ground rules.
` I'm going to ask you questions
`and you will answer them. From time to time
`your attorney may object. You still must
`answer the question unless your attorney
`instructs you not to.
` Be sure to answer verbally and
`not say uh-huh or huh-uh because the court
`reporter is writing down what we say.
` If you don't understand a
`question, you can ask me to clarify it or to
`repeat the question and I will be happy to do
`so.
` If for any reason you need a
`break, please ask and I will do my best to

`accommodate you, though, I will ask that you
`answer the question before we take a break.
` Do you understand those rules?
` A. I do.
` Q. Is there any reason you cannot
`provide truthful testimony today?
` A. No.
` Q. Do you have any questions for
`me?
` A. I do not.
` Q. You understand that today we
`will be discussing four proceedings,
`IPR2015-00866, IPR2015-O0868, IPR2015-0O870
`and IPR2015-00871, right?
` A. That's correct.
` Q. I will refer to these
`proceedings by the last three numbers of
`their IPR case number, so '866, '868, '870
`and '871, is that okay?
` A. That's okay.
` Q. You submitted a declaration in
`each of these proceedings, right?
` A. That's correct.
` Q. I see you have a binder. Does
`that include the four declarations you

`submitted in these proceedings?
` A. Yes, the declarations.
` Q. Are there any markings or notes
`you have made in those declarations?
` A. No marking.
` Q. I will like similarly refer to
`these declarations by using the last three
`numbers of the IPR case number, so if I refer
`to the '866 declaration, I'm referring to
`your declaration in IPR2015-00866. Does that
`make sense to you?
` A. It does.
` Q. So your '866 declaration
`addresses U.S. Patent Number 8,458,341; is
`that correct?
` A. That is correct.
` Q. I'll call that the '341 patent,
`is that okay?
` A. That would be helpful.
` Q. In -- your '868 declaration
`addresses U.S. Patent Number -- I'll let you
`turn to it if you -- addresses U.S. Patent
`Number 8,516,131. I'll refer to that as the
`'131 patent.
` A. That's correct.

`U.S. Patent Number 8,560,705. I'll refer to
`that as the '7 -- '0705 patent?
` A. Uh-huh.
` Q. And your '871 declaration
`similarly addresses the '0705 patent,
`correct?
` A. Correct.
` Q. Great.
` As far as you are aware, there
`are no substantive differences between the
`specifications of these three patents,
`correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection to
` form.
` THE WITNESS: So the '3 -- '341
` patent and '131 and '705, the -- for
` the most part, sitting here today, I
` believe the specifications are
` similar.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. So you agree --
` A. The claims are different.
` Q. So you agree that although the
`claims are certainly different, the

`
`specifications, at least the detailed
`descriptions in these patents, are
`essentially identical, correct?
` A. I wouldn't go as far as saying
`essentially identical. Sitting here today, I
`believe they're -- my recollection is they're
`quite similar.
` Q. Okay.
` A. Uh-huh.
` Q. Sitting here today, are you
`aware of any differences between the detailed
`descriptions in the '341, the '131 and the
`'0705 patents?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection to
` form.
` THE WITNESS: Your question is
` whether or not there are differences
` in embodiments across those three?
` MR. DILLON: Let me re -- let me
` rephrase the question.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. None of your opinions in your
`declarations, those declarations, rely on any
`differences between these patents, correct?

` THE WITNESS: As I said before,
` I believe that the -- I wouldn't go as
` far as saying they're identical, but I
` believe the specifications are
` similar.
` And so, subject to what's in my
` declaration, I believe, to answer your
` question more directly, there's -- I
` don't rely on any differences, subject
` to what's in the declaration.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. Great.
` You have submitted declarations
`related to several others VirnetX patents,
`right?
` A. In the past, that's correct.
` Q. Do your declarations here today
`rely on any differences between the '341, the
`'131 and the '0705 patent compared to those
`other declarations and their patents?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection to
` form. Scope.
` THE WITNESS: Wow, sitting here
` today, you know, I can't say for sure

`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. So you're not aware, sitting
`here today, of any differences in the
`specification of the '341, the '131, the
`'0705 patents, and the patents that you've
`previously worked on for VirnetX, correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form. Scope.
` THE WITNESS: I think I just
` answered that question by saying,
` sitting here today, I don't recall any
` differences.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. And none of your opinions in
`these declarations rely on any differences
`between these patents and patents you
`submitted declarations related to in the
`past, correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Same
` objections.
` THE WITNESS: Again, I think
` you're trying to -- you're asking me
` about maybe subtle differences in

` things submitted months ago, and
` sitting here, again, today, I
` cannot give you a definitive answer on
` that.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. You signed each of the four
`declarations we're discussing today, correct?
` A. That's correct.
` Q. Did anyone help you prepare
`these declarations?
` A. What do you mean by prepare?
` Q. So the declarations have lots
`of words that were written. They summarize
`presumably your analysis. Did anyone help
`you in preparing the documents that you
`submitted as declarations in these four
`proceedings?
` A. All the opinions expressed in
`these declarations are mine.
` Q. But did anyone help you prepare
`the declarations that were submitted in each
`of these proceedings?
` A. And again, I believe I answered
`your question, that the opinions referenced
`here are my opinions.

` Q. How long did you personally
`spend preparing these four declarations?
` A. Sitting here today, I can't
`tell you for declaration one I spent 20 hours
`versus 30 hours on a different declaration.
`I spent -- the process is look at the -- look
`at the patent, the specifications, the
`claims, what the petitioner has alleged, and
`do an analysis.
` Q. So, sitting here today, you are
`unsure how long you spent preparing these
`four declarations, correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form.
` THE WITNESS: No, I didn't say
` that. I said you -- I can't give you
` an exact -- an answer of, you know,
` the declaration for '341 to N hours
` versus, you know, in the past a
` different declaration took N times two

` Q. How about, how long in
`approximate multiples of 50 hours did you
`personally spend in preparing these four
`declarations?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form.
` THE WITNESS: Again, my process
` has been to spend extensive time for
` each one of those declarations, to
` look at the patent, look at the
` specifications of the claims, and do
` analysis thereof with respect to what
` the petitioner disclosed.
` In some cases, because, you
` know, because of subtleties in them,
` one might have been 30 hours and I
` can't tell you for sure.

` Q. How about all four declarations
`as an aggregate, about how many hours in
`multiples of approximately 50 hours did you
`spend preparing these four declarations?

` guess is based on where -- whether or
` not -- you know, that's hard to say
` whether or not I can separate. You're
` asking me to separate the time based
` on if I've done a similar analysis in
` the past or just for the proceedings
` right here today?
` MR. DILLON: Just for the
` proceedings right here today.
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form.
` THE WITNESS: Again, very hard
` to say. It's certainly more than 50
` hours, sitting here, I think. I'm not
` going to guess.

`when preparing these declarations?

` going to instruct the witness not to
` answer to the extent it calls for
` privileged or confidential information
` but, subject to that instruction, you
` may answer.
` THE WITNESS: Again, if you take
` each one of those documents -- each
` one of those declarations, I have -- I

` claims, the inter partes review, and I
` have also had to consult the Patent
` and Trial Review Board's decision for

` THE WITNESS: My opinions
` expressed in the declarations are
` based on the resources that I've
` stated in the declarations that were
` consulted.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. Did you rely on any documents
`or information not cited in these
`declarations?
` A. To the best of my recollection,
`every resource that I have used here is
`cited.
` Q. These declarations are similar
`to declarations you've prepared regarding our
`VirnetX patents, correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form. Scope.
` THE WITNESS: There are related
` matters in other proceedings, that's
` correct.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. So certain issues, you would
`agree, overlap between the declarations we're
`discussing today and declarations that you've
`written in the past, correct?

`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. These declarations are similar
`to declarations you prepared regarding other
`VirnetX patents, correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form. Scope.
` THE WITNESS: So these
` declarations do have some similarities
` to other declarations based on the
` fact that the petitioner argued
` similar things in other declarations.
` Sitting here today, I can't tell you
` which ones.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. So earlier you testified, I
`believe, that you may have had to spend less
`time on these declarations because of their
`similarity to previous declarations. Did I
`get that correct?
` A. No.

` misunderstood what -- my answer. I
` said -- you asked about time spent,
` and I said that's very difficult to
` give you a clear delineation based on
` the fact that there are similarities
` that have appeared in the past.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. So you may not have needed to
`spend as much time preparing these
`declarations compared to others, correct?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection.
` Form. Scope.
` THE WITNESS: Again, I can't
` give you an answer with respect to
` whether or not -- and I think I've
` answered this before -- whether or not
` I've spent more or less time on these
` based on similarities that are here.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. How did you prepare for today's
`deposition?
` A. By reviewing my declaration,
`refreshing myself with this patent, the
`specifications, and the claim language.

` off the top of my head.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. But you previously testified
`that you were first retained by VirnetX in
`July of 2014. Do you have reason, sitting
`here today, to believe that testimony was
`wrong?
` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection to

` THE WITNESS: I don't recall
` giving that date. Again, I said I'd
` have to go back and look at my notes.
` It coincided with a period when I was
` going on sabbatical so I can't -- I'm
` trying to remember if this is 2013 or
` 2014. I'm sorry I don't recall
` exactly right now.
`BY MR. DILLON:
` Q. Have you heard of VirnetX prior
`to being retained as a consultant?

`something several years ago. In passing,

` MR. ZEILBERGER: Objection to

` THE WITNESS: Again, sitting

` or not the first time I heard the
` word -- the company name VirnetX was
` then. I know I had no substantive
` discussions of anything to do with
` VirnetX before that time.

` Q. For your introduction to
`computer security class, do you assign any

`recommend readings. Undergraduate students
`like to have a textbook, but I mostly teach
`off my own notes, but there is -- there are
`recommended readings.
` Q. What textbooks do you recommend
`to your students for your introduction to
`computer security class?
` A. They have changed over the
`years.
` Q. What currently do you recommend
`for students in your introduction to computer
`security class as a textbook?
` A. Again, that class covers many
`topics. I believe that there might be three
`or four recommended textbooks this semester
